Madurai Style Chicken Kuzhambu

Quiet a long, i have nt posted non vegetarian dishes..I prepared this chicken kuzhambu sterday after a long and this kuzhambu is really different and fabulous which suits marvellously with hot rice..This kuzhambu tastes exactly wat madurai peoples serve hot with parathas,chappathis and for briyanis.. Chicken kuzhambu have so many versions and variations according to each regions of India, i love the chettinadu version of non vegetarian dishes which tastes hot and spicy while this madurai style chicken kuzhambu tastes very flavourful and hot as this kuzhambu was tempered with sesame oil..I learned this dish from my friend who is from Madurai and we enjoyed this lip smacking chicken kuzhambu with hot rice and papads and we loved it...




1no Chicken (cut as medium size pieces)
2nos Onions (chopped)
1no Tomato(chopped)
4nos Garlic cloves (minced)

1tsp Black peppercorns
1tsp Cumin seeds
1tsp Fennel seeds

1no Cardamom
2tbsp Fresh grated coconut

Dry roast all the ingredients one by one from the list 'to grind' until they turns slightly brown, switch off the stove and cool completely..grind as fine paste with water and keep aside

Heat the sesame oil and fry the red chillies,curry leaves and bay leaves..now add the chopped onions, chopped tomatoes, crushed ginger and minced garlic, fry everything for few minutes until the onions turns transculent, now add the chicken pieces, turmeric powder and cook everything in simmer until the chicken pieces get half cooked, finally add the masala paste, salt and stir gently for few minutes, add enough water to the cooking masala and chicken, cook the gravy in medium flame until the oil gets separates..Add the chopped coriander leaves to the kuzhambu and put off the stove..

this is a nice one, worth eating...

But I can compare me with the wolf who did not get the grapes in the 2nd standard book and said they were not sweet...

I am not a wolf but I can only keep myself staring at the dish... I should think of preparing it.
